he would personally back "the
least controversial" aspects of
foreign aid, such as refugee re-
lief and military aid to Israel.

According to some obsen
Sen. Fulbright recognizes that
aid to Israel commands over-

continue the controversy. He is
likely, therefore, to go along
with the majority, even though
it does not represent his per-
sonal views.

Good-Will Gesture Rejected By Peking
JERUSALEM (JTA)
The People's Republic of
China rejected a gesture of
good will by Israel this week.
A telegram from Foreign
Minister Abba Eban to Chi-
na's Acting Foreign Minister
congratulating the Peking
regime on its admittance to
the United Nations was re-
turned to the foreign minis-
try.
Foreign Ministry circles
claimed it was returned by
the Peking post office, not
the Chinese Foreign Minis-
try. However, other commu-
nications from Israel have
been accepted by the post
office and Eban's was the
first telegram to be sent
back.
Observers pointed out that
more than 36 hours elapsed
before it was returned, in-
dicating that Chinese diplo-
macy rather than lack of
communications channels
was the reason.

Soviet Jews Assaulted
LONDON (WNS) Reports reaching here say a Jewish man in
Riga and a Jewish woman is Moscow were assaulted after applying
for visas for Israel. Avik Gleser was attacked and beaten when he
tried to obtain the character reference needed to get a visa. Mrs.
Ela Michlis was scalded by a neighbor in the communal kitchen of
her Moscow flat after her husband had applied lor a visa for the
family. Mrs. Michlis will be scarred for life; her attacker received a
15-day jail sentence for inflicting serious injury.
National Council Blasts Attacks
NEW YORK Anti-Jewish and anti-American outbursts by
Soviet and Arab delegates in the United Nations have been de-
nounced by a broadly representative national council of Jewish
organizations as "vicious" and "cynical." The group coupled its
denunciation of what it termed the "naked anta-Semitiism" in those
"tirades" with an excoriation of the "outrageous" shooting into the
Soviet Mission building, which the Soviet and Arab delegates had
used as a "springboard" for their aXtacks, according to Albert E.
Arent, chairman of the National Jewish Community Relations Ad-
visory Council, who made a public statement adopted by the execu-
tive committee of the Council.

Is America Doomed?

By MAX LERXER
PART V
The Dying Decades?
(KTiITtnS NOTE: This is the last
of a five-part series on the prophe-
cies of American doom).
THE CURRENT plowing up of
American life ("The Second
American Revolution"! is now
some 15 years old. having started
in earnest in tbe latter 1950s. I
figure it is somewhere in mid-
course, having peaked' in the
late 1960s and passed its crest
a year or two ago. Which should
mean that the next 15 years
the 1970s and the first half of
the 80s should be filled with
its clangor and pain, but at a
diminishing pace.
The student disruptions and
takeovers are largely over, a
new phase of restructuring of
tlie campus is under way, the
economic pinch has brought one
reality principle back into the
lives of the young, and the 18-
year-old vote has biought an-
other. The environmental move-
ment wil' continue, but on a
plateau. The women's liberation
movement, which started late,
will peak in the 70s. The school
desegregation movement is
pretty much a fact, despite the
l;ist-gasp furor over busing.
THE MOVEMENT hardest to
project is the black revolt. I
have spoken of racial civil war
as one way by which the civiliza-
tion could die, although it is
highly unlikely. There has been
a radicalizing of black students
and a number of black soldiers,
along with black prison inmates
i witness the Attica prison riot
and the San Quentin episodes).
Yet the future of the blacks does
not belong to desperate and sep-
aratist groups like the Black
Panthers but to a left-center
stream of energy which will re-
new the main currents of black
culture and thought.
Which means that the heart of
the black revolt is not in the
revolutionary slogans and mar-
tyr symbols but in the struggle
for black identity. The Negroes
are not a class in the Leninist
sense but an ethnic nation with-
in a larger overall natior, and
their effort to achieve a na-
tionalist identity without a sui-
ciial separatism will continue
through the 70s and into the 80s.
THE TWO AREAS where Ne-
gro bitterness has recently
shaken the society most dras-
tically are in the Army and the
prisons. Both are areas where
the problem of the white Officers
and guards is one of holding the
obedience of the men. and where
a campaign of massive disobedi-
ence is bound to disrupt the
system. In both eases the best
remedy to apply is "working it
out" a method of parlevir.;,
negotiating ^nd trying to find a

sihle by a loan extended to
Temple Beth Sholom by the
First National Bank of Miami,
acting upon the initiative of
James M. Albert and Isadore
Hecht, long time leaders of
Temple Beth Sholom and the
Israel Bond drive.
Temple Emanu-El Immediate-
ly followed suit, utilizing a bank
loan obtained under the leader-
ship of Dr. Irving Lehrman,
spiritual leader, to make an ini-
tial purchase of $500,000 in Is-
rael Bonds.
"We arc gratified that this
large sum has been made avail-
able to Israel through the coop-
eration of a financial institution
like the First National Bank of
Miami. In a sense, this is a
measure of an important finan-
cial institution's confidence in
our temple, and its leadership,
as well as in the State of Is-
rael," Dr. Kronish said.
Kalihi Kronish. national chair-
man of the Italiliinie Cabinet for
Israel Bonds, added, "We hope
that this transaction will set an
example for other synagogues in
our area and throughout the
land."
Mr. Litvak pointed out that
the SI million has already been
made available to the State of
Israel in its historic program of
economic development through
the Israel Bond issue. Proceeds
derived from the sale of Israel
bonds are making possible the
growth of industry and agricul-
ture, the expansion of irrigation,
the construction of roads, har-
bors and railways, the produc-
tion of electric power, and the
exploitation of natural resourc-
es, he noted.
